The 安定した 需要・要求する for new homes 明らかにする/漏らすs a sharp 分裂(する) in the U.S. economy. 全世界の headwinds, such as 不確定 in 中国 and volatile 財政上の markets, have 混乱に陥れる/中断させるd 全体にわたる growth. Yet strong 雇うing and low mortgage 率s have 上げるd the 住宅 部門 as more Americans buy new houses or 調印する 賃貸し(する)s for expensive apartments.
